A lesser known Hong Kong toy manufacturer by the name of threeA are releasing a Metal Gear Rex toy as penned by the suitably under appreciated Yoji Shinkawa. Rex was the climactic Metal Gear in Metal Gear Solid, though it also made a functional cameo in the recent Metal Gear Solid 4. threeA don’t normally handle licensed mecha designs, instead creating their own, so this choice on the part of Konami and Hideo Kojima is an interesting one. Early photos have leaked online and the detailing does look mightily impressive but this looks more like a collector’s statuette than toy. In any case, no word on price or release date has been announced as yet.

I finally managed to get hold of a ThreeA WWRp ‘Bramble’ figure last week, and it’s one of the best designed and finished pieces I’ve seen. Amazing articulation and fantastic painting and weathering. I’m really looking forward to this- I hope it gets wider distribution than their other products!
